German expandable plant to boost Europe’s supply security
International Graphite has joined forces with Arctic Graphite AS – a subsidiary of Norwegian construction giant LNS – and Graphite Investment Partners to establish a new expandable graphite production facility in Germany. The project will support Europe’s efforts to secure critical minerals in the face of rising geopolitical tensions and supply chain risk. Graphite Investment Partners Principal Aidan Nania said: “Graphite is subject to supply disruption more than any other commodity. The demand fundamentals for expandable graphite are compelling. There is little or no production of this product in the EU which accounts for approximately 30 per cent of global consumption outside of China.”
